Mount your camera on a solid tripod (ideally around 1.5 m / 5 ft high) so the view stays steady. Keep the entire table, rails, pockets and balls in frame without panning or zooming.

Record in high resolution, preferably 1080p or higher. Use 30–60 FPS for smooth motion; 60 FPS gives clearer slow motion.

Warm up first, then record one player making pocketing attempts. Keep the cue ball in its natural playing position and do not move it by hand between shots.
